If we are unable to fix the network driver, we will still upload the disk image with updated license PAKs installed and then update them when the issue is fixed.

why not just provide new PAKs? I guess folks who have used *and 
customized* the disk image would like to preserve their changes.

Of course they can by binding the new image as a separate disk to their 
virtual Alpha, extract and re-apply the PAKs - but why do you want them 
to take this extra effort?

Thanks & regards,
Hans.
